				<span class="auto-style5">was founded in 1999 by Dr. D & his wife
Judith, as an offshoot of Charlotte Hauser’s
Benson Garden Walk with the avowed
purpose of rescuing,  re-habilitating, & 
recycling all types of plants & flowers.  While
BPR initially rescued mainly from the ‘Big 
Box’ stores, it now also recycles plants from
local nurseries as well as from area gardeners
thinning or changing their gardens</span><br />
				<br />
				<span class="auto-style5">Perennials, grasses, roses, trees, & houseplants are sold off at very reasonable prices with proceeds going to the Omaha Public Library, Charlotte’s favorite charity, for the purchase of children’s books & computers.  To date over $30,000 has been donated.  Additionally, all rescued annual flowers & vegetables are given away free of charge, creating literally hundreds of thousands of small points of beauty & nourishment throughout Omaha over the past 13 years.<br />
